it just reduces the deficit. by borrowing less, we have more money available for the private sector. that is a good thing. if they needed it. if there was a shortage of liquidity. ben bernanke has been working on that. that is a different study, too. what i have reported and which has been presented here to some degree is a way to calibrate what the costs and reduced federal spending are. it is not complete. the more recent study which looked at federal spending that he affects payroll as well as procurement, and not just military equipment, as bennett cited, but across all discretionary categories, would it cost $215 billion in lost gdp activity. that is 2/3 of what is projected to grow. if the economy grows at current projections, up to 2% next year, this would represent, to give it a reference point, 2/3 of gdp. at $110 billion, labor can come -- labour income, to understand what is tied to that spending, the analyses that i undertook put some jobs to that, 2.1 million jobs across all sectors of the economy. r
